The criminal sense of a snitch will provide information to police in order to obtain lenient treatment for themselves and provide information over an extended period of time in return for money or for police to overlook their own criminal activities. Quite often someone will become an informant following their arrest.

In other words a snitch is not the innocent person who has a serial-killer living next door so he tells the police to get the trash out of the community, a snitch is one who is selling dope or doing some other bad thing and gets caught, but instead of taking their own punishment like a man, tell the authorities info on other criminals so they can get off scott free or reduce their own punishment. That's a Snitch!

Unless you understood what that means and know about something we don't... it doesn't make sense to read the article and call the guy a snitch, let alone a snitchboy.

Whereas, if it's someone who always feels the need to snitch, even when it really isn't their business, that would be a "Snitch-b*tch", not "Snitchboy".

Sorry if it looks like I'm trolling you, I actually learned a bit looking it up myself tbh, but it just doesn't seem right after reading the article to name the accuser a snitchboy, unless he really is one. Care to explain?
